A little bird told me this was going to happen last September. Will be interesting to see how things develop.

Don't worry use catch up

Tonight at 8.00 pm on channel 5.Michael Buerk and John Sergeant,travel around the coast.The first show a Dunkirk rescue boat.

Not quite the view from work.Today I was working at Pearsons in the Strand. This being the view along the way.My photo's.Simpsons in the Strand.Worked there many years ago when I was at college. The coal hole.Had at few pints there ,when I worked at the Savoy.

I think there's no way such an idea would happen.Indeed there has been talk about allowing flooding to occur in parts of the broads,in the main close to Potter.Also the cost,my experience of the broads if such an idea to happen then all concerned would no doubt argue about the cost.

This time of the year on the river.Sadly our boat is a bit cold this time of the year.Shes put to bed now.We will pop up to see her in a few weeks time.

That's funny,seen many times people on there first day on the river,thinking they are Lord Nelson.With a little bit of Capt Jack thrown in.

I take your point,more help should be available to those in need.Its is I my opinion helpful to collect funds for the collection box.Those that give feel as if they are helping,and those that collect have a since of achievement.

I did my donations via text.Each year I help to rattle the tins for the RNLI and the poppy appeal. With the poppy appeal,we collect at Sainsbury's, it's a partnership,also at ASDA and Morrisons.With the RNLI.The Woolwich ferry(hope to continue)when the new ferry comes into service in the year new.We also collect in Bexleyheath town centre and outside supermarkets.I agree it's not easy getting permits.Also a problem at times getting people to help out.

Well done to everyone collecting or donating to children in need.Sadly this year I did not see anyone collecting for children in need.

Don't think you were looking at the forum,think you were checking the price of honey!

Are there any plans to bring back NBN t shirts ,fleeces etc.I have both,but would like more in future.

If you keep this up and we move to Norfolk in a few years time I may be calling you to do a few for me

If you look at Great Yarmouth it needs work on it.There was a problem in Margate, it was pasted it's best.In the last few years money has been spent and things have improved. The same needs to done in Yarmouth.

For the Fallen They shell not grow old as we that are left grow old, age shell not weary them nor the years condemn them. At the going down of the sun in the morning, we will remember them.

Maurice,in my day Nat West Tower,we had 12 dining rooms 6 on 39 ,2 on 38 and 4 on 41.Our kitchens on 40.

My view at present,starting lunch. Happy Friday

I worked close to the post office tower Thursday last week.My job takes me all over London.The other week in Greenwich. I have only got two and a half years to work.Then hopefully move to Norfolk.

This was my view this morning,the building with the green top.Tower 42,in my day Nat West Tower. I worked there from 1980 to 1993.Also the cheese grater and the walky talky just seen also is the monument.London bridge.Out of sight to the right is the old Billingsgate.The other photo HMS Belfast Tower bridge and in the distance Canary Wharf. Over the years I have worked in many of the buildings on view. Ian.

from me too

Welcome Debs nice pics glad you are have good time Ian

As I don't drive a few years back Marina treated me to a two seater at Brands.I went round with a pro driver.That was great.They also do a two seater F1 at Silverstone. Which I hope to do one day.

Welcome Longjohn contact Richardson's they have a very large fleet.Withmany new boats.The Broadsman is a fairly new bathtub Think it has all the mod cons. Regards Ian

I have no idea,as others said many were MIA.What I would suggest if you know His Regiment,contact them they will have a record of him and may be able to shed light on why your grandmother received no help,and also contact the Royal British legion. Hope that's helpful.

I agree and disagree,Our boat does not have 240.I take your point some boats seem to hog the charging points.Our boat is 29 foot we head for Loddon/Chedgrave at least four times a year.Graham looks after our boat.We both enjoy going there.In fact was there last week .I hope all turns out well at the Locks and Berney Arms. I have posted many times about the pub.If I was ten years younger I believe I could make the pub work,we nearly always would stop there overnight on our first day of our holiday.For me it's very sad that it's not running.For me hopefully a long way off that we stop boating.
